1. Ranking

   A ranking is a relationship between a set of items such that, for any two items, the first is either "ranked higher than", "ranked lower than" or "ranked equal to" the second. In mathematics, this is known as a weak order or total preorder of objects. It is not necessarily a total order of objects because two different objects can have the same ranking. The rankings themselves are totally ordered. For example, materials are totally preordered by hardness, while degrees of hardness are totally ordered. If two items are the same in rank it is considered a tie. By reducing detailed measures to a sequence of ordinal numbers, rankings make it possible to evaluate complex information according to certain criteria. Thus, for example, an Internet search engine may rank the pages it finds according to an estimation of their relevance, making it possible for the user quickly to select the pages they are likely to want to see. Analysis of data obtained by ranking commonly requires non-parametric statistics.

Examples of ranking in a Sentence

1. Senate Judiciary:

   Not only is Ms. Gupta the first woman of color to ever be nominated to the position, she is the first civil rights attorney ever to be nominated to the position, the third-ranking official in the Justice Department, that's shocking, really. We never have had a former civil rights attorney serving in such a prominent serving in such a position of prominence at Justice Department. In that sense alone, Ms. Gupta would bring a long overdue perspective to our federal law enforcement agency.

2. Michael Chamberlain:

   The American public expects that high-ranking public servants will act with the highest levels of honesty and integrity, certainly, someone in the position to lead an agency with 10,000 employees and a portfolio including a large portion of U.S. land, should exemplify these traits.

3. Angela Haupt:

   The DASH diet has been our top diet overall for five years now and this is the fifth year we are evaluating and ranking diets.

   Let's face it: it's partisan sniping because this is an embarrassing episode for the Republican Party in which a high ranking member of the governor's staff, for clearly political reasons, closed lanes leading to George Washington Bridge, creating not only a public safety nightmare but just traffic gridlock for an entire community for four days.

5. Drinks International:

   Overall, Europe appears to be the international epicenter for good drinking as it led the regions' ranking with 21 of its bars included within the 50 best list.
